OLENO has developed socks that are perfect for trekking . The name of the socks is Performance Wool Series, a model that combines comfort and fashion .
What we would like to introduce to you today is the most standard model, the Performance Wool Crew.
These high-performance socks are made from merino wool carefully selected by OLENO and can be used for trekking in all seasons.
[Recommended for]
- Those who enjoy trekking outside of the harsh winter
- Those looking for a soft feel
- Those who want to enjoy mountain climbing fashion
- Those looking for socks with deodorizing properties
So let me introduce you to the Performance Wool Crew.
Carefully selected merino wool has been used to improve the performance of the garment, making it "cool in summer and warm in winter."
Merino wool is a type of wool that gets its name from the Merino breed found in Australia and New Zealand.
I'm going off topic a bit, but there are many different fibers used in socks, which can be broadly divided into natural fibers and chemical fibers. Natural fibers include cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc. Chemical fibers include the familiar nylon, polyester, acrylic, etc.
The biggest feature of merino wool is its excellent moisture absorption, which acts like an air conditioner, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer . By using this material, we have achieved a comfortable fit all year round . On the other hand, the disadvantages are that it is easily eaten by insects and does not dry quickly.
Recently, people have started to enjoy trekking and mountain climbing in all seasons of Japan: spring, summer, fall, and winter, so we thought we might as well develop socks that are comfortable to wear all year round! That's why we decided to use merino wool.
Packed with cushioning, graduated compression, arch support and other support features.
Those who have never climbed a mountain may not be able to imagine it, but mountain climbing is a pretty hard sport. There are steep ascents and descents, many steps, rocky areas, and slippery areas, so it puts a lot of strain on the body and legs.
That's why this performance wool crew is designed with performance in mind, and is packed with the support you need for mountain climbing and trekking .
First of all, cushioning . This is a high-density knitted fabric, and the sole has a pile structure that matches the shape of your foot... It's hard to explain, isn't it? It's easier to understand if you imagine the fluffy towels that you use. It's like a fluffy towel is inside the sole of the shoe .
Next, compression
Some people wear compression socks before going to bed, but the purpose of compression is to tighten blood vessels, narrowing them and improving blood flow. This has the benefit of reducing fatigue, and the Performance Wool Crew also contains compression . However, if the compression is too strong, wearing the socks for long periods of time can make you feel tired and increase the discomfort of the tightness , so we have designed the socks to be gradually applied .
Lastly, there is the arch support function.
The arch is the line that connects the heel, the base of the big toe, and the base of the little toe. If you wear shoes that don't fit your arch, you will get tired easily, and in the worst case scenario, your arch may collapse. The arch support function in the Performance Wool Crew supports the arch of the sole of your foot.
Designed to fit each foot individually, providing an unprecedented fit.
We have also made efforts to improve the fit when worn.
The left and right shoes are not designed the same, but are actually asymmetrical and designed to fit the toes of each foot, resulting in an excellent fit .
Antibacterial and deodorant properties and mesh structure for breathability reduce sweating and eliminate odors
Sweaty feet and foot odor are problems that have plagued many people. This product has a special function to reduce these problems as much as possible.
The instep area is made with mesh to allow air to pass through, ensuring breathability and making the socks less likely to become stuffy even when worn for long periods of time .
In addition, the carefully selected merino wool used in this product has antibacterial and deodorizing properties , helping to reduce foot odor even when worn for long periods of time.
This concludes our introduction to the Performance Wool Crew.
Recently, many manufacturers have started producing socks for trekking, as more people have started trekking and mountain climbing as a hobby. However, some manufacturers seem to be overly concerned with design and neglecting functionality.
OLENO's mission is "Committed to quality," and the newly developed Performance Wool Crew is packed with support features such as comfort from carefully selected merino wool , high cushioning, graduated compression, and arch support.
Additionally, we have addressed issues that plague many people, such as sweaty and smelly feet, by adding breathability and antibacterial and deodorizing properties .
We are confident that we have created a pair of socks that will satisfy anyone, from trekking beginners to advanced enthusiasts, so we encourage you to purchase a pair for trekking, mountain climbing, or hiking.
